    something seems very wrong about sitting outside for 10 days all for the sake of sitting inside playing video games the other 354 days of the year.

    p.s. those kids are perfect candidates for a drive-by-water ballooning. Hope no one thinks the same way that I do, or their screwed.



    On second thought they would probably constitute it as a shower. friggin' a gamers always win.

    well i am thinking i am going to try and snag a PS3 on release day.

    here my plan. get off of school, eat, then go as far as i can from the cities and find a target/bestbuy/circuitcity/heck even a walmart. hit it right at midnight (assuming places are openeing at midnight for the PS3) and nab one with hopefully no-one else there.

    It is going to be tough Tbone...we are almost full as a group I mean...for a sleepova...I'm not even sure if we are all going to get one...last people of the group I mean...How early can u be there thursday? in the Blaine, coon rapids area...Call me (612)578-9226 on Thursday and I can give u a heads up of where we are going to be. I do not want to give out the location of where we are all going to be because I do not want to many people to know...It is not the Walmart in Blaine, which is what we originally planned.

    Dude, it was too damn funny tonight. I went out to Stillwater and Woodbury where most of my friends are camping out... soaked their ass with Super Soaker LMAO... guess I won't be playing no PS3 with them for awhile hahaha...

    It was cold out tonight too... I get my kicks and giggles... my kids were laughing their ass off too... shaking their heads how weird people is by actually camping outside a store for a game system.

    Shhh... I didn't say anything to them about me almost being one of them fool out in the cold waiting also HA!
